Francis of Assisi is, after Mary of Nazareth, perhaps the greatest saint in the Christian calendar, and one of the most influential men in the whole of human history. By universal acclaim, this biography by G. K. Chesterton is considered the best appreciation of Francis's life--the one that gets to the heart of the matter.

Book Diary 2020 (112 books items)" Anyhow it was no good to preach natural religion to people to whom nature had grown as unnatural as any religion. For sex cannot be admitted to a mere equality among elementary emotions or experiences like eating or sleeping. The moment sex ceases to be a servant it becomes a tyrant. Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall enjoy everything. He devoured fasting as a man devours food. He plunged after poverty as men have dug madly for gold. "
